Why Building an Audience Is a Scam in 2025 Once upon a time, you could build an audience and make a living from it. It’s dead now.

"You can have 100,000 followers and feel like you're shouting into the void. Your feed no longer belongs to you. It's a dynamic, TikTok-like chaos, driven by AI, based on mood and trend hunting. Favoring the most clickbait-inducing or most resonant headlines." medium.com/behind-the-w...

Together 2025... Well that was both entertaining and traumatic! A horror movie that's more metaphorical than literal putting toxic relationships relying on co-dependency through the looking glass. #movies #cinema #horror #moviereview #together #togethermovie #together2025

Bending Spoons has a history of significant staffing cuts at the companies it takes over. After acquiring Evernote in 2022, they laid off most employees the following year. Similarly, after the WeTransfer purchase in 2024, plans were announced to fire three-quarters of the staff only weeks later.

Headquartered in Milan, 2013-founded Bending Spoons has expanded its tech portfolio with a $1.38bn acquisition of video platform Vimeo. Previous acquisitions include WeTransfer, Streamyard, Evernote, Meetup and Splice. Last year, the company acquired US-based streaming tech Brightcove for $233m.

I'm not defending Amazon, but it's important to separate facts from assumptions. The facts in this instance are that, according to Amazon's docs, they aren't listening all the time and only send recordings to the cloud after the wake word. That said, I do understand the skepticism given the company.

Just looked into this. Previously some Echo models (2020 on) allowed local processing of commands. As of March 2025 policy change, all voice interactions are processed in the cloud. However, the Echo device itself does not transmit or record audio to Amazon servers until the wake word is detected.

I was under the impression that Echo devices listen for a designated "wake word" (e.g., "Alexa") to activate. Only after detecting this wake word does the device start recording and transmitting audio to Amazon's servers. Has this changed?

Happy 99th birthday to the man whose gentle voice taught generations to see the world with both wonder and urgency. Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime devoted to planet earth. #DavidAttenborough #SirDavidAttenborough

Been a while since I devoured a book in a day, but I couldn't put down The Monsters of Rookhaven. What a glorious book. Characters, story, illustrations, paper. Incredible work by author, illustrator, and @panmacmillan.bsky.social Macmillan Children's Books #books #childrensbooks #middlegrade

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

Book delivery days = happy days 📚
